This page is for Seattle homeowners who know they’ve got Owens Corning on their roof and need someone who understands how those specific shingles, underlayments, and ventilation components behave when Puget Sound weather turns violent. If you’re staring at a tarp flapping in the wind on your Greenwood bungalow or finding granules in your Ballard driveway after a southeaster, call us at (866) 850-9676. A real person answers, 24 hours a day.

How Owens Corning Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Duration® Series: wind-lifted tabs in the I-5 corridor. The SureNail® strip is excellent when intact, but once a tab lifts past its grip in a southeasterly blow, the fabric reinforcement can tear in a clean line that looks minor from the ground. We see this on split-levels in Wedgwood and Ravenna. Our fix: remove the damaged course, inspect the underlying Tru-Bond® sealant strip for cold-weather embrittlement, and reinstall with OEM Duration® shingles rather than mixing series, which voids the system warranty.
• Oakridge®: hail bruising that penetrates the fiberglass mat. Oakridge®’s laminated construction hides impact damage well. The colored granule layer can look intact while the mat beneath fractures, leading to slow leaks that show up months later as ceiling stains in Capitol Hill homes with minimal attic ventilation. We map the roof with chalk circles, photograph each bruise for insurance, and replace full sections rather than spot-patching, since partial repairs create visible color banding in Seattle’s diffuse light.
• Supreme® three-tab: brittle crack propagation after thermal cycling. The entry-level line thins faster than laminated products, and Seattle’s freeze-thaw cycles between November and March turn minor cracks into full tab separations. We find this on rental properties in the University District and older homes in White Center. Replacement is the only sound option; we do not attempt to seal brittle three-tabs because the substrate has reached end of life.
• WeatherLock® G underlayment: ice-dam wrinkling at valleys. When warm attic air meets our persistent low cloud cover, ice dams form at valleys where two roof planes converge. WeatherLock® G can wrinkle and channel water sideways if the installation pattern skipped the manufacturer’s recommended 6-inch side laps. We peel back the affected valley, reinstall with proper overlap, and add ice-and-water shield to the standard Owens Corning specification for Seattle’s marine climate.
• VentSure® ridge vent: blow-off from inadequate nail spacing. The plastic hinge on VentSure® strips cracks when installers crowd nails or miss the nailing flange entirely. After a wind event, we find entire vent sections gone from roofs in Magnolia and Queen Anne, exposing the ridge beam to direct rain. We replace with OEM VentSure® rather than generic ridge cap, and we nail to the proper 1.5-inch on-center pattern so the vent moves with the roof deck instead of against it.

Our Owens Corning Emergency & Storm Damage Process

1. 1
   Live answer, real dispatch. When you call (866) 850-9676, a person takes your address, the storm date, and what’s visible from the ground. We do not put you in a queue.
2. 2
   Photo-documented inspection. Our technician arrives in uniform, photographs every elevation from the roof surface, and identifies your Owens Corning series by the printed code on the shingle back. Neil Cavanaugh trained our crew to read these codes the way he learned at Renton Technical College, back when an instructor drilled into him that guessing a manufacturer’s spec was the same as guessing a load-bearing wall.
3. 3
   OEM or matched aftermarket decision. If your Owens Corning line is current production, we source OEM. If it’s discontinued, we match color and fire rating with a quality aftermarket shingle and document the substitution for your warranty file. We do not substitute without telling you.
4. 4
   Repair with weather hold-off. In Seattle’s drizzle, we tarp only when necessary and time the permanent repair for a dry window, typically mid-morning when the marine layer lifts. Most jobs complete in one visit.
5. 5
   Function test and cleanup. We run water at the valleys, check attic penetration with a moisture meter, and leave your property cleaner than we found it. The invoice matches the estimate.
6. 6
   90-Day Done Right Promise activation. Your warranty paperwork is emailed before we leave. If anything shifts, settles, or leaks, we come back. No forms to mail, no arguments.
